UPCOMING 40K CODEX RELEASE DATESĪs per GW’s latest Sunday roundup, the Warhammer 40k 9th edition T’au Empire codex goes to pre-order on Saturday, Janu– and will release for sale on Saturday, February 5. With that out of the way, here’s everything we know about the upcoming Warhammer 40K codex releases – and the key info on what’s already out. Now, in early 2022, we’re about to receive the new T’au Empire codex, and there are signs the Craftworlds Eldar and Chaos Space Marines could be around the corner.įor full details on all these books, when they’re coming, and what to expect, read on! They’re just the first few of many new Codex releases to look forward to this year, and we’ll be keeping this guide up to date with all the latest information as to what’s coming next, and when. The Grey Knights and Thousand Sons released in August 2021, followed by a standalone release of the Orks codex in September. In November 2021, the Black Templars got their first dedicated codex since 2005, followed by a double-pack of the Adeptus Custodes and Genestealer Cults in December. June 2021 brought us the Adepta Sororitas codex, and July provided the Orks as well – at least if you got it as part of their Beast Snagga army box, that is.
Since then, we got Death Guard in January 2021, Dark Angels in February, Drukhari in March, and the Adeptus Mechanicus in late May. This is likely to become part and parcel of all your 40K games in the future, so, you know - take note.
#IMPERIAL GUARD WARHAMMER BOOKS CODE#
On the inside back cover of each of these new Codexes you’ll find a code to unlock its digital version on the Warhammer 40K app. Naturally, therefore, as with previous new editions of the game, keen players of each of these armies were all bursting to see their favourite faction brought up to date, right from the moment 9th edition was announced in May 2020.īut the already-slow release cycle for these rulebooks was further delayed on December 4, when GW put the release of its new Death Guard codex on ice due to “unavoidable delays to crucial shipments”. For some time after that book finally arrived in late January 2021, GW shied away from releasing any hard-and-fast timings for upcoming codexes, as the underlying production issues hampering its book releases persisted.
#IMPERIAL GUARD WARHAMMER BOOKS UPDATE#
These faction books, called Codexes – and the slimmed-down ‘Codex Supplements’ for offshoots such as the Dark Angels and Black Templars Space Marine chapters – contain all the in-game rules, abilities and statistics to update each of the game’s 20-odd playable armies to fit the new 9th edition ruleset.
The planned release schedule for Games Workshop’s Warhammer 40k 9th edition codexes has been repeatedly thrown out of whack – first, by the UK’s second nationwide covid lockdown in late 2020, and, thereafter, by an ongoing plague of printing and supply chain issues, to which GW has several times referred – with its customary coyness and penchant for in-universe references – as the work of the “ fickle winds of fate” or the treacherous Chaos god, Tzeentch.
